So you’d say getting 7 reps on chin-ups directly after doing a different exercise because your fatigued, could be better than getting 10 reps while your fresh?
My bad It said the first reply didn’t unpload so I typed it again
again, depends on a whole host of factors. I stand by my original statement that you don’t understand the application. Pity, because it’s like 2am and I’m too lazy to explain it to you

So not true. Bench press/BB rows is probably one of the best supersets I’ve done. On a par with military press/T-bar rows. Lower body I haven’t done much, although I messed around with front squats supersetted with GHR for a bit. I stopped because it was miserable, not because it was ineffective. I think I did lunges and snatch grip DL too, likewise miserable, but did the job well.
I wouldn’t superset a lift with anything if I was trying to drive that lift - but accessory or assistance absolutely. It saves time if nothing else, and generally gets you one hell of a pump.
Supersetting a big lower body exercise with a big upper body one with short rest intervals is excellent for fast fat loss. Progress through decreased rest intervals rather than reps or weight for an even greater fat loss effect.
Just be sure not to superset two lower back intensive exercises together.
Squats and Chins, golden. Goblet squats and DB bench press, sure. Deads and Presses… might wanna think that one out some more.

Although deads followed by presses makes for a damn good day.

Some things to consider
1.There’s no set progression
Week one you’ll be doing 5 sets of 3.Week 9 5 sets of 3.Week 294052,well,you’ll probably be dead by then but you get the point
2.There are no set deloads
It’s better to train hard for 3-8 weeks and rest one than to push it until you can’t any longer
3.You have too many pressing movements imo
Bumping up this old thread I came across and read with some interest.
Keryannus, how did this in the end work out for you? For how long did you run it and what were the results?
